Individual Differences in Perceptual Problem-Solving Ability: A Response Analysis Approach.

Weinman, John; Cooper, Richard L.

Intelligence, v5 n2 p165-78 Apr-Jun 1981

A large sample of 11-year-olds were observed on a perceptual maze task. Three ability level groups were formed and compared as to overall response paths and specific binary decision configurations. Explanations for observed qualitative differences and discussion of the viability of the experimental approach adopted are presented. (Author/RD)
